President Katie Conboy initially declared that the college would be open to considering undergraduate applicants who were assigned female at birth or those who live and identify as women. However, this move was met with swift and fierce opposition, with many accusing the college of abandoning its Catholic values.
In a recent update, Conboy and the board of trustees have backtracked on their inclusivity push, claiming that their previous decision had caused division and eroded trust within the community. They expressed deep regret over the unintended consequences of their initial announcement and announced that the college would revert to its previous admission policy, effectively becoming an all-female institution once again.
Critics of the college’s initial decision are hailing this reversal as a victory for upholding traditional values and preserving the sanctity of single-gender education. It appears that the voices of dissent have resonated with the college leadership, ultimately leading to this dramatic policy U-turn.
It seems that even in academic institutions, the forces of political correctness and progressive ideology can be challenged and thwarted. Saint Mary’s College has learned the hard way that straying from time-honored beliefs in pursuit of woke inclusivity can have severe and swift consequences. As they say, sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
